    Have had my tacoma for awhile and finally made an account on here. Anybody running maxtrac spindles on a reg cab? Can't find any posts on here. Right now I have 5100s all around, fronts at 2.5 and rear has a 1in block and it rides harsh. Order maxtrac spindles but don't know if I should put my 5100s at 0 or at .85. The rear will stay with only the 1in block. Truck is on 275 70 18x9 0 offset.Thanks in advance.

    The lift spindles will give you 4" of lift over stock. If you used the Maxtracs with the 5100 set at 2.5 then you'll end up with ~6.5" of total lift over stock. (and your rear would remain the same). ="bro-lean"

    Using the Maxtracs lift spindles and having your front 5100 at 0 will still make your truck higher in front versus your current 5100 @2.5 setup.

    It all depends on the appearance that you are after. IMO, if you use the Maxtrac with 5100 at 0, you'll probably want 1.5" or 2" lift blocks for the rear or install an AAL. Or upgrade to OME or All Pro leaf packs.

    I'll end up putting the 5100s at 0. I do want just a slight lean to almost level. I don't like the way it is now where you can tell the rear is higher. Will definitely post pics when it's done this weekend.
